"Services will leave Paris from Gare du Nord at 5.45pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, call at Aulnoye-Aymeries, Mons, Bruxelles Midi/Brussel Zuid, Liege-Guillemins, Hamburg Harburg (from July 13th), and arrive at Berlin Hauptbahnhof at 9.59am on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Mondays."
"We saw a chance to keep an important connection alive, a journey that brings Paris and Berlin closer again, it said when it announced the new service, adding individuals could become a co-owner from 280 and help bring this night train to life."
"Night trains in Europe are enjoying a resurgence especially among young people concerned about the environmental impact of flying. But there has been concern over whether slow services running at night can be economically viable."
European Sleeper, a Belgian-Dutch operator, will launch a new overnight rail service between Paris and Berlin on March 26, 2026, replacing routes discontinued after French government funding cuts. The service operates three times weekly, departing Paris Gare du Nord at 5:45pm and arriving Berlin Hauptbahnhof at 9:59am, with return journeys departing Berlin at 6:31pm. The route includes stops at Aulnoye-Aymeries, Mons, Brussels, Liege, and Hamburg. Basic tickets start at €39.99, with sleeping compartments from €139.99. European Sleeper, founded in 2021, has raised €5.5 million through fundraising campaigns and offers co-ownership opportunities from €280. Night trains are experiencing renewed interest, particularly among environmentally conscious younger travelers.
